V For Vendetta

April: V For Vendetta

Set in an alternate reality where a terrorist is attempting to re-enact the Gunpowder Plot.

Bizzare but enjoyable.

Recommended to me by my good friend @tom_reaney. This film trys to be two movies at the same time. One movie starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman from their perspective and a completely different movie from the perspective of the detectives solving their crime. Now Weaving and Portman were really good. There were some really good scenes with those two but then the story kicks in with the two detectives and I just didn't care for it. As far as story goes it was alright, but shadowed by the other side of the film. It's always a pleasure to see Stephen Fry in a film and this is no exception, similar story with John Hurt.
